JUMP TO RECIPE

My baked chicken flautas are knock your socks off delicious and super easy to make! From start to finish they take less than 30 minutes to make. These make for the perfect appetizer or main course.

Serve your baked chicken flautas with your favorite salsas, guacamole, sour cream and more. We topped ours with fresh pico de gallo, guacamole and sour cream. It was absolutely delicious. I’ll link some delicious dipping recipes for you to try below!

Because these flautas are baked they are slightly healthier and lighter than a traditional fried flautas and still deliver huge on flavor. For the shredded chicken, you can easily make my Mexican Shredded Chicken or you can use rotisserie chicken for an even easier meal.

This recipe makes about 8 flautas. If you are cooking for a crowd, simply double the recipe.

Tools to have on hand when making this recipe:

  • Baking Sheet – For baking your flautas.
  • Basting Brush – To baste the flautas with oil to help create a crisp outside.
  • Measuring Spoons + Cups – For measuring your ingredients.

  • Shredded Chicken- About 2 cups.
  • Chili Powder
  • Garlic Powder
  • Cumin
  • Dried Oregano
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Lime Juice
  • Cilantro (Fresh)
  • Flour Tortillas – Small soft taco sized flour tortillas.

How to make homemade Baked Chicken Flautas:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil sheet.

Add shredded chicken to a large bowl and mix with seasonings, lime juice and cilantro.

Tightly roll 1/4 cup of shredded chicken in each flour tortilla and transfer to baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Using a basting brush, lightly oil outside of flautas.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until flautas are nice and golden.

Serve flautas with your favorite toppings!
